I am an adult male building contractor and the second applicant in this matter. I reside at 39 Dennilton Agricultural Holdings, Moutse. In fact, I have lived in Moutse my whole life. I am also the Chairperson of the Moutse Demarcation Forum (“the Forum”), the first applicant in this matter. The nature and purpose of the Forum is dealt with below. I am authorised to depose to this affidavit on behalf of this Forum and the other applicants. 2. The facts contained in this affidavit are within my personal knowledge, save where appears otherwise from the context and are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, both true and correct. Where I make legal submissions, I do so on the advice of my legal representatives. OVERVIEW OF THIS APPLICATION 3. This application is brought by the people of Moutse to challenge the validity of the Constitution Twelfth Amendment Act of 2005 (“the Amendment”), which, inter alia, transferred Moutse from Mpumalanga to Limpopo. 4. I and the other applicants submit that the Amendment was invalid for two reasons, namely – 4.1. the Amendment was irrational in that, in respect of Moutse, it is not capable of achieving the underlying government purpose for which it 3 was enacted, namely to improve service delivery in areas that were formerly cross-border municipalities; and 4.2. the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature failed to comply with its constitutional obligation to facilitate public participation, in that – 4.2.1. it refused or failed to consult properly with the Moutse community; 4.2.2. submissions made by the Moutse community were not properly placed before the Mpumalanga Legislature; and 4.2.3. the Mpumalanga Legislature did not validly confer a mandate on its NCOP representatives to vote in favour of the Amendment, either at all or because it did not have regard to public participation. 5. The applicants therefore seek to have the provincial boundaries re-drawn to incorporate Moutse into the area of Mpumalanga on such terms and subject to such time frames as this Honourable Court deems meet. 6. I am advised that the this Court has held that the Amendment must be read in conjunction with the Cross-Boundary Muncipalities Laws Repeal and Related Matter Act 23 of 2005 (“the Repeal Act”). The applicants accordingly 4 also challenge the Repeal Act, insofar as it relates to the incorporation of Moutse into Limpopo province. 7. This affidavit will traverse – 7.1. the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court; 7.2. the parties to the application; 7.3. the geographical location of Moutse; 7.4. the history of Moutse; 7.5. demarcations and provincial allocations of Moutse leading up to the amendment; 7.6. the abolition of cross-boundary municipalities and the re-drawing of provincial boundaries; 7.7. service delivery in Moutse; 7.8. the failure to consult adequately with Moutse; 7.9. legal submissions on the failure to consult and the effect thereof; 7.10. the appropriate remedy; 7.11. delay; and 7.12. the interests of justice in hearing this application. THE JURISDICTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT 8. As outlined above, this matter concerns a challenge to the validity of an amendment to the Constitution. In terms of section 167(4)(d) of the Constitution, only the Constitutional Court may decide on the constitutionality 5 of any constitutional amendment. Accordingly, this application is brought before this Honourable Court as a court of first instance. 9. Should the application be refused, we will not be heard in any other forum. We submit that this will curtail our right of access to court protected under section 34 of the Constitution, and leave our grievances unaired. 10. Given that one of our causes for complaint arises from our inability to access public and state fora and to make ourselves heard, I submit that it is the interests of justice that this matter be set down for hearing. I will return to a full consideration of the interests of justice later in this affidavit. THE APPLICANTS 11. The first applicant is the MOUTSE DEMARCATION FORUM, an organisation constituted to represent the community of Moutse in issues relating to and arising from the demarcation of municipal and provincial boundaries generally, and particularly the transfer of Moutse from Mpumalanga to Limpopo. 12. The Forum was established in June 2004 by residents and civic organisations in Moutse to oppose its transfer to Limpopo. The Forum had 6 ties to and liaised with various other representative groups and organizations, but it was the body primarily responsible for, inter alia, - 12.1. making submissions to the Municipal Demarcation Board concerning Moutse; 12.2. writing letters and requesting that the Mpumalanga Legislature and the Minister for Provincial and Local Government (“the Minister”) give Moutse a hearing on the issue of provincial boundaries; 12.3. organizing protest marches by the Moutse community; and 12.4. reporting to and consulting with the Moutse community on any steps taken or to be taken. 13. As will be detailed further below, the Forum became the primary representative body of the Moutse community because the Municipal Council tasked with representing it was effectively inoperative by early 2003. 14. I am the second applicant. 15. The third applicant is MPUTLE MAKIDLA, an adult male businessman and the Chairperson of the Elandsdoorn Land Committee, Elandsdoorn, Moutse. 7 He has lived in Moutse since his birth in 1945 and resides at Stand No. 1, Elandsdoorn, Moutse. The Elandsdoorn Land Committee is a civic organisation that assists and represents local communities with issues dealing with tenure security and land claims. 16. The fourth applicant is KINNY MMAKOLA, an adult female currently employed by the Moutse Civic Organisation at 1030 Masanfo Stand, Vuka Africa, Dennilton, Moutse. 17. The fifth applicant is GIVEN PHIRI, an adult male and an executive member of the Elandsdoorn Youth Club, as well as a member of the South African Commuters Organisation. He currently resides at 52 Jabulani Section, Elandsdoorn F, Moutse. 18. The sixth applicant is CHRISTINA PHATLANE, an adult female administrative clerk currently employed at Magateleope Primary School, Mpheleng, Moutse. She is also the Branch Secretary of the Moutse State Administrative Branch of the National Education and Health Allied Workers Union (“NEHAWU”). 19. The seventh applicant is FANIE MOTSELE MOGOTJI, who was born in 1973, and is currently employed by the Department of Correctional Services. He resides at 521 Mtwane Village, Dennilton, Moutse. He is also the Chairperson of the South African Communist Party’s Mtwane Branch. 8 20. The eighth applicant is ELIONA MATLOU, an adult female teacher who currently resides at 5 Morgan, Dennilton, Moutse. 21. The ninth applicant is BANGISWANE MTHOMBENI, who was born in Moutse in 1970 and currently resides at 333 Elandsdoorn Township, Moutse. She is a financial adviser at African Life (Pty) Ltd. She also works at the Dennilton Advice Centre, which provides advice to members of the Dennilton community. 22. The tenth applicant is FRIEDA RAKWENA, an adult female community worker who resides at 1010 Walkraal Extension, Kgobokwane. 23. The eleventh applicant is LAWRENCE DITSEHGO, an adult male businessman who currently resides at 274 Elandsdoorn B, Marapong, Moutse. 24.

  • Trekking Outward
    TREKKING OUTWARD A CHRONOLOGY OF MEETINGS BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICANS AND THE ANC IN EXILE 1983–2000 Michael Savage University of Cape Town May 2014 PREFACE In the decade preceding the dramatic February 1990 unbanning of South Africa’s black liberatory movements, many hundreds of concerned South Africans undertook to make contact with exile leaders of these organisations, travelling long distances to hold meetings in Europe or in independent African countries. Some of these “treks”, as they came to be called, were secret while others were highly publicised. The great majority of treks brought together South Africans from within South Africa and exile leaders of the African National Congress, and its close ally the South African Communist Party. Other treks involved meetings with the Pan Africanist Congress, the black consciousness movement, and the remnants of the Non-European Unity Movement in exile. This account focuses solely on the meetings involving the ANC alliance, which after February 1990 played a central role in negotiating with the white government of F.W. de Klerk and his National Party regime to bring about a new democratic order. Without the foundation of understanding established by the treks and thousands of hours of discussion and debate that they entailed, it seems unlikely that South Africa’s transition to democracy could have been as successfully negotiated as it was between 1990 and the first democratic election of April 1994. The following chronology focuses only on the meetings of internally based South Africans with the African National Congress (ANC) when in exile over the period 1983–1990. Well over 1 200 diverse South Africans drawn from a wide range of different groups in the non- governmental sector and cross-cutting political parties, language, educational, religious and community groups went on an outward mission to enter dialogue with the ANC in exile in a search to overcome the escalating conflict inside South Africa.

    Safrica Page 1 of 42 Recent Reports Support HRW About HRW Site Map May 1995 Vol. 7, No.3 SOUTH AFRICA THREATS TO A NEW DEMOCRACY Continuing Violence in KwaZulu-Natal INTRODUCTION For the last decade South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal region has been troubled by political violence. This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

  • High-Level Review Panel on the State Security Agency
    Report of the High-Level Review Panel on the SSA i Preface The High-Level Review Panel on the SSA and Related Matters is pleased to submit its final report to his Excellency, President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa. We hope that the findings and recommendations contained in this report respond adequately to the concerns that led the President to establish this Panel, and that those of our recommendations that are accepted and implemented play a decisive role in achieving ‘a professional national intelligence capability for South Africa that will respect and uphold the Constitution, and the relevant legislative prescripts’ as required by our Terms of Reference. We think it prudent to highlight here that our key finding is that there has been a serious politicisation and factionalisation of the intelligence community over the past decade or more, based on factions in the ruling party, resulting in an almost complete disregard for the Constitution, policy, legislation and other prescripts, and turning our civilian intelligence community into a private resource to serve the political and personal interests of particular individuals. In addition, we identified a doctrinal shift towards a narrow state security orientation in the intelligence community from 2009 in contradiction to the doctrines outlined in the Constitution, White Paper on Intelligence and other prescripts. We are concerned that the cumulative effect of the above led to the deliberate re-purposing of the SSA. The Panel has made many detailed findings and recommendations, but most importantly it is recommending an overarching overhaul of the intelligence and security architecture of the country, the implementation of which will require extensive consultation and a good dose of determination.

  • Sub-National Governments and Foreign Policy: the Case of the Limpopo Province in South Africa
    SUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN POLICY: THE CASE OF THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE IN SOUTH AFRICA by Vhulenda Edna Matshili Submitted in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in the subject Politics at the University of South Africa Supervisor: Professor Jo-Ansie van Wyk 2013 DECLARATION I declare that “Sub-national governments and foreign policy: The case of the Limpopo province in South Africa ” is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ _____________________ Signature Date (Miss Vhulenda Edna Matshili) i ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to analyse and describe the role of sub-national governments (SNG’s) in foreign policy and how the conduct of diplomacy has developed in the South African context, and to assess why and how provinces engage in this phenomenon. The theoretical approach to this study is embedded in neo- functionalism. In order to illustrate this, the South African province, the Limpopo Province is used as an illustrative case study. In particular, the study will analyse the role of the International Relations Unit (IRU) within the Office of the Premier (OtP) in the Limpopo Province as a case study. Limpopo is the main focus of this study because it, inter alia, borders on three sovereign states (Botswana, Mozambique and Zimbabwe) which place the province in a good position to engage in international relations, mutual intentions and friendly relations with its neighbouring and other distant countries. The results of this study is that provinces have become important foreign policy and international relations actors in the area of low politics; however the national government remains as the main actor in the international relations and foreign policy making process.
